Which act gives copyright holders control over the distribution of their products?

Data Protection Act
Misuse of Data Act
Copyright, Design and Patents Act
Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act

The correct answer is: Copyright, Design and Patents Act

The Copyright, Design and Patents Act is the legislation that grants copyright holders authority over how their creative works are used and distributed. This act is crucial for protecting intellectual property rights, enabling creators to profit from their work and prevent unauthorized use. By controlling distribution, copyright holders can license, sell, or restrict access to their works, ensuring that they maintain financial and creative control. The other acts mentioned focus on different areas of law that do not directly address copyright. For instance, the Data Protection Act pertains to the handling of personal data, whereas the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act deals with surveillance and the monitoring of communications. The Misuse of Data Act covers unlawful access and misuse of data, rather than the rights related to creative works and their distribution.
